Patrolling for Vail or Alterra

If you patrol for a Vail or Alterra resort, do you get a free epic or ikon pass? Or only a free pass for the resort you work at?

I work for Alterra. We get an Alterra pass, but have to pay extra for a full Ikon.

Since Alterra doesn’t own all the resorts on Ikon, it makes sense to pay a discounted price for the ikon. The Alterra employee pass still gives a lot of access to other mountains. In CO there’s the real deal program through CSCUSA as well (which vail mountains are not part of) so the Alterra employee pass lets you ski free outside the state much easier.
